The Global 2030 Agenda for sustainable Development: a must to save the world

Over the years, Decision Making has become one of the most often requested topics for information, insight and/or development solutions from our consulting practice. This started me wondering! Why has decision making captured so much interest, and what lies behind these requests for assistance?

Imagine this situation: you’re at work, doing your job when your boss walks up to your desk. He says he wants you to take the stairs to the 40th floor.

You’re confused, but you oblige — after all, it’s a request from the boss. However, on the 39th floor, he calls you and tells you he now needs you to take the elevator to the lobby. Not only does he not let you finish the task he gave you previously but now wants you moving in a completely different direction, using different means.

CMC colleagues from across our 48 Member Institutes have contributed articles to CMC Today that are beneficial both to other CMC’s, as well as clients. These are collected in our Publications section of the CMC-Global website and organized to the following sections:

The Bahamas to host CMC-Global Annual Meeting of Delegates/ CMC International Conference in 2019

CMC-Global announced, at last month’s Milan Conference, that the Caribbean Institute of Certified Management Consultants (CICMC) will be hosting CMC-Global Annual meeting of Delegates and CMC International Conference. The scheduled dates are October 15-18 and Nassau, Bahamas is the Host City.

CICMC’s president, Donald Demeritte, upon accepting the award during the ‘flag passing ceremony’, at the Milan Conference, expressed CICMC’s appreciation for such a prestigious award. He told delegates that CICMC views the conference as an opportune time to expose key Caribbean stakeholders to the CMC-Global network, its global resourcing capabilities and ability to contribute to the region’s growth.
